I'm looking at another Euro Delivery next year and would consider an Audi if it weren't for having to pay the VAT up front. It is completely ridiculous that I should have to front them 15K for 2-3 months waiting for redelivery. Seems no where near as fluid as BMW, sadly the new M3 is not going to be ready by this time next year.

aajami, would you ever trade your 09 M3 for one of these? I think it looks stunning, but I wish there was a bit more performance.

I test drove one about a month ago, and it's really an amazing machine. That said, while it had a bit more grunt than my car, it lacked the M3's urgency and (relative) nimbleness. It definitely felt like a grand tourer, while the M3 combines GT characteristics with those of a sports car.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed, but I'd keep my car over trading it in for an RS5.
